Lefty was a very nice man. I was lucky to grow up next door to him and my family was lucky to have a great neighbor. (I always knew where my parent’s were on fall Sunday afternoons… at Ina & Lefty’s watching the Seahawks.).

Important Announcement Regarding Deaths in King County

Families and their Funeral Service Providers, including Barton Family Funeral Service, are experiencing significantly delays in obtaining death certificates from King County while King County implements an electronic system called EDRS. (You may read about it HERE)

We have been using the EDRS system for several years for deaths occurring in other counties such as Snohomish County. We know the system well and are trying to help physicians and hospitals as they make the transition. Because King is such a large county, the transition is taking longer than we have experienced in the past, and unfortunately we are all experiencing considerable delays in obtaining death certificates.

County and State officials are very cooperative and are working diligently to facilitate the change. We ask for your patience and assure you that we are doing everything possible to meet your expectations.
